Complexity along with the Raven's Nest Gourmet Gothic, Lee Esthers, and Shōgun Sushi may be the most competent restaurants in their field for the Antelope Valley. It's basically a wine gastropub with New American Cuisine that has worldwide influences. Inside is pleasantly furnished with plenty of wine bottles on multi level display shelves to set a wine lounge atmosphere. I sat at the bar for informal noshing. I'm a sucker for "Buffalo" burgers which are actually Bison. The Tombstone sliders are meaty, moist, lean with gooey, melted, apple wood smoked cheddar cheese, soft, caramelized, sweet onion, slice of roasted tomato & Dijon mustard Aïoli (ah ee oh lee). Arrugula leaves mentioned in the menu was missing in action. Very tasty and 2 for $15 in our inflationary times of 2025. Got a glass of house red wine that went well with the Bison sliders. Couldn't eat more than that since I ate the humongous Jackfruit Burrito at Modern Tearoom earlier for late lunch. The Complexity menu has a fairly tight menu featuring typical New American hits: Charcuterie, Fromagerie, 10 apps, 12 mains, 10 sides for the mains. Bar seating afforded me a pleasant conversation with an older gentleman who was into formula one racing cars. Staff service is competent, friendly enough & functional, not particularly punctuated by small town charm. 4- stars read more

The staff are super friendly and are on their game. We had a party of 16 and the one server did a great job. His explanation of the types of wines was in depth and very interesting. The food was pretty good as we're there during lunch. I had the grilled cheese and sweet Potatoe fries. Grill cheese was kind of mid bread than cheese and sweet Potatoe fries were "crappy" but not bad. Friends had a variety of plates and they all seemed good. Interesting place and I will be back for dinner. read more

The place was quite cozy, not very big but it was comfortable. They have outside seating with heating lamps if it gets crowded, luckily it wasn't too bad when we went. The food was good and they had a really big selection of wine. Unfortunately our first few picks for bottles were already sold out but the server I think his name was Dylan was very accommodating. He provided excellent service and anticipated what we might need before we knew it. That kind of service definitely elevated the experience and we will definitely be coming back. The wine we had was pretty good and we finished the bottle. We made it in time for brunch and the food was tasty. My wife really enjoyed the baked bree. Great place for a date or to just relax and enjoy good wine and great service. read more

This winery is a gem in Lancaster! Not to mention Megan was super helpful and provided some of the best customer service I've ever had! Came for the wine, but was not expecting their food to be so exquisite! The flatbread was great and followed up by a lemonchello dessert was like a cherry on top! Their wine flights are well priced and it comes with 3 servings per flight. The ambience is quite cozy and inviting, definitely a great place to bring a date. read more

Complexity Wine offers a fantastic wine list, amazing cheeses and a relaxing ambiance for any occasion. I've visited twice for brunch and had a wonderful time both times. First time, I ordered crepes with a sparkling rosé wine, with coffee to finish. Second time, three of us shared a chef's choice charcuterie plate and a caprese flatbread. I would definitely go with the second option; the flatbread was fantastic and the cheese and sausages seemed to be perfectly chosen to compliment one another in the charcuterie plate. My Pinot Grigio was great as well. We shared a large French press coffee at the end, rich and delicious with no bitterness whatsoever. We also split a lemon chiffon cake, the perfect sweet ending to our brunch. Service is fantastic, attentive without being overbearing. All of our questions were answered quickly and requests attended to promptly. Free parking in the lot. The Antelope Valley is blessed to have such a lovely wine bar nearby. Highly recommended. read more

Went in for lunch Waitress was super nice and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. Please tell me why it took almost an hour to get a grilled cheese with soup and an appetizer? Everything was mega greasy/oily and I became nauseous soon after. She was nice and took the appetizer as she should because I eat it. Way over priced for what we received. Also The veges were sad, not what I'd expect from a higher end place. read more

I really enjoy visiting and dining here, I have visited this place several times. However today I felt so uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I had just left from a nice relaxing day at Heat and Halo decided to go to Complexity just to enjoy and continue such a relaxing moment. I ordered my food and as soon as I placed my order the server gave me my bill. I have supported this business a few times, never I have I ever been handed my bill before I received my food. Today I did not receive good service. Food is still amazing just disappointed with my service. read more

Hey my fellow Veterans and Others! You really have to make your way here. Dan the owner has a really great place here. The food is top notch, the service is even better.

I hate to leave a bad review but this place has gone waaay downhill and we all work too hard for our money to waste it . I have to assume their clietele is primarily hotel guests who they don't have to worry about pleasing since they will never return. They had a large party in their banquet room, but there were only three other tables there and I'd assume since they advertise their banquet room they'd be prepared. 45 minutes for apps, an hour for salad and 90 minutes for chicken overcooked to jerky level, and pasta that tasted like a can of tomato sauce was dumped on it. The service, while pleasant, was lacking. Bill for four was 250 which is fine if the food is good but advise others to spend their money elsewhere. Sad to see what happened to this place. read more

This place is a cute little wine bar that also serves food. I like how they let me taste a few wines before picking a glass. The food was good. My favorite thing was the Brie and apple appetizer. My only complaint is the food came out about 45 minutes after we ordered it. But, I would go back! read more

The management is outstanding and very informative. The food is delicious. I will be going back.

The food here is always amazing and the staff is friendly and helpful. The owners take personal pride and are the sweetest people.

Honestly what an upsetting experience overall. Please look at the negative comments first before coming here because they're all true. My husband ordered a ribeye with a side of Mac n cheese and truffle fries. First off, all steaks are al la carte.... 55$ steak with sides for extra $$.. not even broken bit does that.. anyways when we got his steak it was already cut into slices which tells us whoever is in that kitchen cooking does not know how to cook steak because why else are you cutting into a steak before you send it out? then we both notice the steak is completely blue and RAW not even rare , RAW. He asked for medium rare, anyone can tell by the picture that it is not medium rare. And it was all fat! This picture is after we asked the waitress take it back like they didn't even do anything to it!! My poor husband tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and tried it and he spit it out and said it's cold, mushy and very bloody. He even wanted to take it home because he didn't wanna make a big deal out of it but I was like hell no we are not paying 60$ for something we cannot eat. We heard them laughing in the back and we decided to leave because it was straight up ridiculous to the point we felt like whoever is in charge here just completely disregarded us as customers. And acted like they didn't give a f*** about fixing it. We've never had to walk out of a restaurant before ever due to the lack of customer service. I want to know who is in charge of the kitchen bc surely whoever is does not care about this restaurant and what they send out. The mashed potatoes were 100% 99cent store box mashed potatoes. The truffle fries had no truffle!!! Nothing no salt, no seasoning not even oil it was so dry my husband had to chase it down with his drink. And to top it all off we were so upset about the steak we didn't even realize till after we didn't even get the Mac n cheese he ordered!! ! We were so shocked about the steak and fries that we didn't even realize it till we got home. I was upset to even pay for my entree. It was ok I ordered the shrimp scampi but nothing special what this restaurant makes it seem. 100$ down the drain for two appetizers ( very small portions not even worth it), one very tiny glass of wine that I finished within two sips, a lemonade and one very fishy shrimp pasta.. thxs! Ps: the picture attached is what they brought us after we asked them the first time to re cook it. read more

Nice to spend on a Friday night. We went for a friend gathering/baby shower. Considering it was a party of 20, Costumer service was good but we were all served at different times. My husband and I ordered the charcuterie board for two. The amount was perfect. We most definitely will go back to do their Sunday brunch. read more

I have been here a few times and it was always good, no issues... Tonight everything started off okay, except for the hostess seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. I made a reservation for my husband and I, but my son wanted to tag along. The hostess didn't know what to do. She consulted with our waiter Dylan and they ended up sitting us in the private party area which was nice. Later on, right as we were finishing our meal a random waitress came by and said that a large party came in and they needed the space and offered to move us across the restaurant. It was so awkward. The party came in and started taking all the chairs around us and we were being rushed out of our table. Our waiter Dylan was amazing, he reassured us there was no rush and then comped our dessert, but by that time we had already packed our food and charged our credit card. We wanted to leave. The mood was killed. The other party was waiting for us to leave. For the amount of money we paid for our dinner, the staff should know how to handle their customers. Maybe not sit the other party until they have all the seats/tables available. Maybe ask us if we want desserts or to box our food up to get us to hurry up. I probably won't be coming back for awhile. read more

This is solely based on a to go order.. Although the vibe inside was really nice.This is solely based on a to go order. When you walk in you are greeted by a wall with nothing but wines And a cheese selection in the back. I ended up getting the sassy shrimp, lobster lobster bisque, and this thing called cheese bomb. I will start with the lobster bisque, very flavourful with actual small chunks of lobster not just the lobster essence like some places use. The cheese bomb is a sourdough bowl cut up baked with cheeses and herbs that was actually good also. I did not try the sassy shrimp too much because I was already full although they give you big shrimp served on a bed of polenta. So i tried the shrimp...couldn't finish because I found a hair in it that was not mine! So I had to throw it away only s few shrimp in and meal was ruined... read more

I booked a reservation for a birthday because this restaurant was highly recommended by friends. It's such a shame the food was so bad. Our waitress was good, attentive and friendly. She recommended a nice wine and brought a taster. No complaints there. House salads with chimichurri dressing. No dressing, just oil. No flavor. We sent them back. The waitress did offer to replace them, but we decided we would just wait for the entrees. Both of the entrees have traditional preparations, and while I understand a chef putting their own spin on the dish, these were nothing like what we were expecting. The Wild Boar Ragu over pasta was dry. Mostly just seared off ground meat with little to no sauce or flavor. There was a good portion of pasta and a good portion of meat, but because the ragu was so dry, all the meat ended up at the bottom of the bowl. The Steak Diane was also very disappointing. I do not understand stacking food for no rhyme or reason. On the bottom grainy mashed potatoes. Dry. Tastless. No salt, pepper, butter, cream. On top of that hot raw asparagus. I don't know why this is such a common thing in restaurants. On top of that the meat. Sauce on the side in a little metal cup. The sort of thing usually used for catsup at a fast casual burger place. The steak had to be moved to the side of the plate to even cut it up. The steak was supposed to be "filet". I have doubts based on the amount of fat and gristle I cut off the meat. For what it was, it was properly cooked to order and the mushrooms and shallots were sautéed perfectly. The sauce for Steak Diane is traditionally a cognac deglaze, followed by a bit of demiglace, dijon mustard, and cream. What was served here was bland, over-thickened, brown gravy. It is what makes Steak Diane, Steak Diane. I ended up not using it. When I made the reservation, I told the restaurant that we were celebrating a birthday. While I was not expecting a free full-sized desert, most restaurants offer a little something with a candle in it to help you celebrate. This place offered nothing, not even a Happy Birthday greeting at the hostess desk. 2 dinners + 2 glasses of wine = $130. This would have been fine if the food had lived up to the hype. Instead it was truly disappointing. I did stop by the restaurant the next day, after the lunch rush, to talk to the owner. He was not available. The hostess suggested I email the owners because "they always respond to emails". I sent a polite email about a disappointing dinner and asked the owner to contact me. They never did. read more

Astounded to find such a high quality wine bar in the Antelope Valley. Very extensive selection of wines from around the world - all major bases covered and some very interesting selections. Their cheese list is almost as extensive as their wine list - 3-4 pages with detailed descriptions. I was only in the area for 2 nights and came here both nights, so that tells you what I thought. First night had a nice pinot noir from Tasmania, and the 2nd night an Assyrtiko. Food and service are good, but the standout features is the wine and cheese. Busy both nights I was there. read more

A co-worker and I came here for the first time last night for dinner and drinks. This wine bar opened right before Covid hit and I did not think that they would make it considering it's the only wine bar that I know of in the area. I didn't think that the people of Lancaster would bite, but they've managed to sustain themselves during this time, and I was really quite impressed. I ordered a variety of different things on the menu to try including lobster bisque soup, caprese salad, sourdough cheese bowl, the Tuscan salmon, and the peaches and cream for dessert. I also had a full glass of red sangria and half a glass of apricot dessert wine. All the food I tried was quite good, but it all was a tad bland and the portions could've been larger, but I didn't expect that much from a tapas-type bar. The owner was friendly and so was the staff, but it was difficult to get the server's attention from time to time. I think the servers are just a little wet behind the ears. There was a reservation (a party of three) that sat down right next to us and we noticed that they waited for at least 20 minutes: no one came to greet them or to give them anything to drink. They got frustrated and ended up leaving. This place was semi full, but not packed for a Friday night, so it seems like the staff were preoccupied with other things. The kitchen was backed up, so we did wait incredibly long for our food. Even the appetizer bread that we ordered in the beginning of our meal did not come until three hours later when we left and we had to get it to go. The presentation of the food was very nice and I didn't think it was overpriced at all. The menu is pages and pages long, so there are a variety of options that are gluten-free, vegan or keto friendly. I think that this place, considering how small it is, needs to cut their food menu down to a much smaller scale in order to keep up with the amount of orders that come in, and to be more consistent. The restaurant was very clean, appeared to be very classy and expensive, and the ambience was just right. They also have a large room where a party of 10 or more can fit, which was a nice option for gatherings. I'll be sure to come back to this place again, but this time I'll see what it's like for brunch. read more

We decided to give this place a try. Super cute on the inside. The staff was super busy and only checked on us a few times. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and they were entirely too sweet and smothered in sauce. We also ordered the berry brie appetizer which was okay. Again too saucy and the bread served along side was stale tasting. I ordered the endless pastabilities which was a lobster seafood pasta dish but there was no lobster and very little seafood. My fiancé ordered the sliders which were okay. Other than that there was nothing great about this place. read more

This is hands down the best place to go in all of the antelope valley . The service is 10/10. I ordered the bruschetta and it was so fresh , I ordered the crab cakes and my family being from New Orleans ... let me tell you it's all crab meat and no filling ...again 10/10 .... The lobster bisque is off the charts !!! The ribeye is absolutely perfect with the butter sauce... I love steak but am always skeptical and I am so happy I decided to order it because again 10/10 .... The maple Brussels are absolutely amazing and have so much flavor again 10/10 ... my mom ordered the seafood linguine and when I tell you it is also a 10/10 ..the peach ending was absolutely amazing .. I am a very critical of the food I eat and when I say that ambiance and the service are truly the best . They had a large party and I can tell you the service is absolutely amazing because they still made sure I had everything I needed read more

This place comes highly recommended and I couldn't wait to come here. It is located across the street from the post office. There is plenty of parking which is an added plus. We came for paint and sip night that they have on some Monday's. You will need to reserve your spot because it sells out quickly. They have a full menu with food that compliments your wine and also charcuterie boards. I had some Moscato and crab cakes and they were delicious. After we paid our bill we were each given an envelope that we cannot open till January. It has to be open at complexity with an employee. I believe it has coupons and treats and I cannot wait. I highly recommend this place perfect for girls night out or date night. I can't wait to return because I was totally digging the atmosphere and vibe plus I'm curious as to what is in my surprise envelope. Thank you complexity until next time. read more

What a waste of a Valentine's Day. Our reservation cost $80 for a table for 2 at 7:15. We promptly arrived at 7:05 and checked-in. We expected a slight wait because let's face it, it's Valentine's day, but what we didn't expect was a 3 hour dining disaster. First we were sat at the bar to await our table, as those dining before us were still enjoying their meal. While waiting at the bar, there were three young workers drying glasses and talking rather loudly about their day right in front of us as if the people dining at the bar didn't exist. It was not in the least bit classy, feeling courtside at the sink of dishes. We were at the bar for 45 minutes when another couple came in the door and were promptly sat at a table, our table. They apologized for "forgetting" about us. We were then offered to share a table with another couple... that was a hard pass for us. So we continued to sit at the bar with the dish dryers. Another 45 minutes and we finally made it to a table. Next to the patio door, with 48 degree cold breeze creeping in on us everytime the staff came in and out. There we were siting with our empty drinks, cold from the outside weather biting at us, still waiting, and trying our best to stay light-hearted laughing about the awful service that seemed to be running rampant in the restaurant. The couple next to us made a comment about just going to In-n-out, and we laughed with the couples at the tables around us. All of us guests who paid for a reservation well in advance, all of us wondering why the staff had no clue how to handle the valentine's day crowd, and all of us wishing we had gone ANYWHERE else. Another 25 minutes passed, and we still hadn't been greeted by a server. Other tables with patrons who arrived after us gave their orders and received drinks and appetizers, yet there we sat waiting, patiently, but by now incredibly irritated. My husband had to get up and go ask that a server be sent over to come take our order. When they arrived at our table again we were told, "sorry, I forgot all about you." We ordered the Ribeye, asparagus, a caesar salad, and the sweet salmon. The couple next to us had ordered the same thing, and when it arrived, the salmon was overdone, the rice was crunchy and under cooked, and the gentleman medium rare ribeye was burnt, and WELL done. The gentleman was asking for some A1 sauce, or something to choke it down with, they had nothing to offer. We were unsettled as we waited for our food to be prepared, but we were already 2 hours deep in this dining experience and Mc Donald's just doesn't do it for me. Now well over 2 hours into our 7:15 reservation, and we were still waiting to get to eat. I jokingly asked my husband if I should just walk over to red salmon to get some sushi to go. At 9:30 our food finally arrived at the table, cold, but edible. The ribeye lacked flavor, the caesar salad dressing tasted like rotten fish, the fingerling potatoes were dry and tasteless, the asparagus was burnt, and I ate as much of my cold salmon as I could tolerate and left the rest. We quickly asked for the bill, we were done, 2 hours and 45 minutes in a cold, uncomfortable restaurant with sub par food, and the only apology was that we received was that they were sorry they forgot about us. No ownership for the repulsive lack of service, no ownership for the horribly prepared food, and all to the tune of $180 for 2. Never have we been treated so poorly at any establishment in the Antelope Valley. I am absolutely appalled at the way the restaurant staff handled our dining experience. This was not our first time dining here, but after last night, we would never recommend dining at Complexity wine to anyone This establishment takes the first place prize for worst service, worst ambiance, and overall worst restaurant in the AV. read more

A beautiful place. As the name suggests, its mostly wine. I am not a wine person, so I chose from their craft beer selection which featured beers from local breweries. The food was unique and tasted very good. Their hummus was fantastic. The bison sliders are to die for and the flat bread pizza was great. I am not normally a fan a flat bread, but theirs was very tasty and not too flat or hard. Overall, a great meal. read more

Invited by our friends to this Antelope Valley gem, and I was not disappointed. We started with the Spinach and Artichoke dip which came in a cast iron skillet topped with fresh shaved Parmesan. Very good and a recommended starter. Then we ordered dinner, I had the Tuscan Salmon with a glass of Rosé wine. Perfectly cooked salmon on top of roasted asparagus and topped with a beautiful array of sautéed veggies. Underneath all of it was creamy delicious polenta cooked perfectly. For dessert, the Tiramisu. Fresh, sweet mascarpone, soft ladyfingers, and hint of espresso coffee. Service was also Incredible! Highly recommend going and making a reservation. read more

Heartbroken that my Bodini Malbec is no longer available. But I've been introduced to a new favorite Malbec thanks to Jaden. Pizzella! Basically- if I come here, I'm only staying if Jaden is here. When he is here, I know I will be taken care of. Absolutely all of the servers here are exceptional but you get the exceptional and THEN SOME with Jaden. I've never had a more authentic appreciation for my host/server until him. He goes above and beyond for his customers. Please acknowledge that. The food industry is so fickle and under appreciated. APPRECIATE your hosts and servers. It is not easy putting up with customers especially finicky customers. Bosses/recognize your servers. This is not an easy job. Nevertheless I will say that it can be rewarding with the right crowd. Cheers to the best wine lounge in the AV. read more

On a Tuesday with barely anyone in the restaurant you would think you'd get great service! Instead our server, as nice as she seemed, took forever to wait on us each time, especially when we were done and she didn't seem interested in checking on us. We never once got asked if we wanted another drink throughout our meal, we were never asked if it was a special occasion which would have been nice as it was my husband's birthday, and we were never offered dessert. It felt more like we were an inconvenience. On top of that, my husband's very expensive steak was dry and very well done when he had ordered medium. It doesn't feel like a very welcoming restaurant unless you're a regular, as we later noticed. We won't be back, much better restaurants in the AV! read more

Food is always wonderful from appetizers, dinner, deserts, and a great wine selection.

I absolutely love this place! Our waiter Jayden is the best & he always gives the most tasteful recommendations. Usually I'm not the one to try other items on menus, I prefer to stick with my traditional choices but Jayden has never let me down on trying something different. It's a great place to unwind with your friends or have a nice night out with your husband! read more
